Hemp and Sustainability: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hemp and Sustainability" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book highlights the positive and negative impacts that hemp fibre and textiles have on environment, while studying the effects of climate change on the growth of fibre hemp. Human-induced climate change challenge the availability of textile fibres, whereas todays apparel industry leaves behind a substantial environmental footprint. Sustainable hemp textiles can lighten it. The book describes the environmental impact of hemp and how climate change influences future hemp growth. Hemp is considered in most literature as a sustainable alternative for the commonly used fibres polyester and cotton. However, most research does not go farther than the environmental impacts of hemp, and there is currently a lack of knowledge/literature that examines the possibilities of hemp growth under changing climate conditions.

1.1 History of Hemp

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual grown plant which is harvested as a multipurpose crop [].

Hemp probably originates from the temperate parts in Asia. From central Asia, it further spread to China, Indochina, Thailand, and the Malaysian regions [].

The introduction to North and South America came later, in 1545 and 1606 [.

History of hemp

The uses of hemp were not limited to textiles; the plant was also used as a Hebrew ritual for death [].

Even though hemp has been used for several Millennia, the production and use of the fibre crop were the highest in the last three centuries [].

A fabric deficit, due to cut off deliveries of fibres, lead to a renewal of hemp during the Second World War [], the main reasons for this reoccurring decline were high labour cost, the introduction of man-made fibres, the association of the plant with illegal drugs, and the competition with cotton.

Harry Anslinger, Hearst, and Dupont had introduced the misunderstandings regarding hemp to limit the competition for Duponts new patented products: plastics, paper from wood, and nylon. William Randolph Hearst, the owner of the Hearst newspaper, spread the inaccuracies in its articles, which were acknowledged as facts in the congressional testimony by Harry Anslinger. The widespread misunderstandings and unfounded arguments about cannabis hemp eventually led to the Marijuana Tax Act [].
